George Thorogood reveals his Rock God!

Veteran rocker George Thorogood will choose the Rock God, as he gets ready to play live in the UK.

George Thorogood has been playing his unique brand of boogie blues rock for decades... and it's served him rather well.

Along with his band The Destroyers, George has released more than twenty albums over the years and celebrated fifty years in music in 2024.

He's here at the end of June to play a few live UK dates and has found time to reveal his Rock God to Shaun. A clue... he's picked a British guitar legend who inspired him during the 'British Invasion' of bands in America in the 1960s!

Produced by Listen Entertainment for BBC Radio 2.
